PoorMansTSqlFormatterNppPlugin - SQL formatti

[Tao Klerks]

I just completed a "first functional version" of my new T-SQL formatting plugin. It uses "my" Poor Man's T-SQL Formatter C# library (to quickly test, go to http://poorsql.com).

The plugin can temporarily be downoaded from github (I'll add it to the main project page when I'm happy with it):

Release Notes / Status:

* First draft of Poor Man's T-SQL formatter plugin for Notepad++:
         *  - One command on the menu, no other functionality
         *     - Reformats the selected code as T-SQL
         *     - If there is no selection, reformats the entire file (scintilla buffer/window, rather)
         *     - If a parsing error is encountered, request is aborted with an error
         *  - Keyboards shortcut can be assigned using notepad++ built-in feature: Settings -> Shortcut Mapper…
         *     - If anyone has a suggestion for a default mapping, I'm all ears (the default MS ones are taken I think)
         * 
         * Future functionality (for first "Official" release):
         *  - Option to format even if a parsing error is encountered
         *  - Default file extension check with warning if doesn't appear to be a sql file
         *    - option to customize list file extensions that are expected to be SQL
         *  - Formatting options, like in SSMS plugin or UI program.
         *  - Translation? (don't know how locale information is propagated to plugins in notepad++ yet)

Any feedback would be appreciated!

One more note on this: The source for the plugin is in the main Poor Man's T-SQL Formatter project repository, on github:

(I'll remove the temporary/beta version from github to avoid confusion)

The latest  version (linked above for manual download) includes formatting option settings, and should be available through the plugin manager shortly - any feedback appreciated!
